Accompanied by Zhang Jingrui, followed by a cadre of Longyou officials, Xiao Yuan returned to the county government after inspecting some places in the county.

In the study, he is still the same as in Yong'an, located in Zhang Jingrui's usual office, looking at some official documents and bamboo slips at random.

The latter bowed slightly and stood beside his subordinates, explaining something.

Xiao Yuan nodded while listening, and after a while, he had already read some important official documents, closed the bamboo slip and said: "Well, Longyou has good governance, but the gold and silver in your treasury are too serious, and you reach out to the official to ask for money at every turn, how can the state government have so much money that is only allocated to Longyou, and other counties don't care?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jingrui began to defend again: "Lord, the use of gold and silver in this county government, everything it has done, has been recorded in detail in official documents, and when it was used, the lower officials even reported it to the lord, and the lord agreed at that time. ”

After speaking, he said: "The lord is the lord, and the gold and silver that is spent now is for the livelihood of the people of Longyou, and in the next few years, with the policy of Longyou, the lower officials will definitely pay back several times." ”

Yes, now that Longyou has developed well, after that, it will be a return.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Master Zhang, this is what you said!" Don't forget, you are the county guard of Longyou, and here in this official, you will make a military order! ”

"Stand up." Zhang Jingrui was not afraid.

"Good!" Xiao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "If you want to repair the Sichuan River, the policy you do, after the official goes back, he will implement it for you as soon as possible, if you don't have any money, you will make it up for you!" ”

"The lord is wise!" Zhang Jingrui: That's an excited salute.

That night, like Yong'an, Zhang Jingrui was responsible for entertaining Xiao Yuan, but at his banquet, the wine and food were not as rich as Yong'an's, and it could even be said to be more shabby.

When asked about Zhang Jingrui, he told you that he had no money.

This is a local county guard who cries poor all day long, which makes Xiao Yuan angry and funny.

After staying in Longyou for two days, Xiao Yuan went to Yizhou again, and then returned to Qinzhou via Ningyang.

This trip lasted more than three months, and Xiao Yuan stopped in almost all the counties in Shuzhong, and knew the situation in various places.

The stability of the people's livelihood and the stability of the political power have enabled Qin to develop in all favorable directions.

After Xiao Yuan came back, he also summoned Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo as soon as possible, and brought up Zhang Jingrui's desire to repair Chuanjiangyan.

This is not a small project, after listening to him, the two stood below and couldn't help but glance at each other, and then, Shangguan Wenruo looked embarrassed:

"This strategy is good, but just after the war today, I, Qin, for the defensive side, did not obtain gold and silver and other benefits from the war, on the contrary, I also spent a lot of hoarded money and food, the state capital is no longer full, and the palace needs to be built, if the construction is rebuilt, I am afraid it will be difficult to support."

"That's a real problem." Liu Yuzhi said: "But the people are the foundation of the country, and people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, Lord Zhang's precautionary measures are still worth affirming, and I feel that I can think of a way in this matter." ”

"What Lord Liu said is right." Xiao Yuan said: "Zhang Jingrui proposed to build the Chuanjiangyan, is to prevent drought, these two years, Shu has not suffered from drought, but in the future, no one can predict, but once there is a Chuanjiangyan, it can not only effectively control the flood, but also whether it is drought or not, in the future, our Shuzhong, there are clear streams, slowly flowing down, nourishing countless farmland. ”

"Therefore, this must be done!"

"Before, we were so poor, but we all survived! What's more, there are now ten counties, isn't it just a Chuanjiangyan! Repair! ”

"If you don't have any money, you have to get it out by all means!"

"Big deal, the palace is no longer built!"

"If there is no water conservancy and the farmland is barren, how can the people be rich!"

"If the people are rich, the country will be strong! If the country is strong, the people will be safe! ”

He was straight and loud.

Such a lord, everywhere first put the people's livelihood first, and even his own palace felt that it was a waste, Shangguan Wenruo and Liu Yuzhi heard this, they couldn't help but bend down and arch their hands together, and said in a loud voice: "My lord is eloquent, Qin, will rise." ”

"Okay, this matter is settled, let's discuss the issue of Shu brocade again." Xiao Yuandao.

In the world, the brocade produced in various places, there are few fine products, only the brocade of Shu is the most, no matter the texture or the appearance, are the best.

It's a specialty, and it's a commercial advantage, but it's not been profitable.

Qin, I'm still very poor now, and I don't have much money, so it's time to take care of these things.

Xiao Yuan began to put forward his own opinions, he said: "The current Shu brocade, there is not much trade, most of it is sold from the inside of Qindi, our own specialties, famous all over the world, but only consumed within ourselves, this is a big problem." ”

"I intend to establish a splendid villa, open a branch in various countries, and sell Shu brocade to all parts of China, especially Lingguo, Lingguo, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people love beauty, quite etiquette, and the requirements for clothing are very high, where, Shu brocade will be able to shine."

Listening to what he said, Liu Yuzhi asked in a condensed voice: "What does the lord mean, is it the state that will be the main business of Shu brocade?" ”

"So what? Isn't it possible? Just like salt and iron, control the economy of Shu brocade, just rely on those commercial taxes, commerce can not be revitalized, we must have our own main things, and it is scarce in other countries, Shu brocade is undoubtedly the best. Xiao Yuan said.

"This ...... If so, who will manage such a large scale? If you use an official, I am afraid that you will not have enough experience in business. Liu Yuzhi said worriedly.

"Regarding this, this official has long thought about it, there is a person who is very suitable." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"The lord is ...... saying"

"Cher's father." Xiao Yuan continued to laugh and said: "The old man is sleek, well-versed in the world, has been in business for many years, and has traveled from south to north, what world has not seen?" It just so happens that he hasn't been idle recently, and he will be the chief steward of this splendid villa, what do you think? ”

The two glanced at each other again, and then Liu Yuzhi said: "This is very good, Master Gu is the father-in-law of the lord, and he has been a big businessman for many years, so he will be able to run Shu Jin well." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yuan also felt that Gu Tong was indeed a very suitable candidate.

First, Gu Tong has rich experience in business, and second, he has this relationship with Xiao Yuan, Gu Xue is his only daughter, no matter what, it is impossible for him to pit his son-in-law.

This is a very important position, and no matter how you look at it, Gu Tong is the best candidate.

That night, Xiao Yuan stayed at Gu Xue's place and also brought up the matter.

After listening to him, Gu Xue said: "Husband, my father is old, and you still let him do things." ”

"Oh, hasn't he been talking about idleness lately, just managed it for me, isn't it good?"

"Oh...... Then I'll talk to him tomorrow. Gu Xue responded, then stood in front of Xiao Yuan, and began to dress him seriously.

Looking at the gentle wife in front of him, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but hug her waist, lowered his head slightly, and his lips were imprinted......
